It looks as if the Dodgers will be getting Kenley Jansen back sooner than expected.
After his meeting with a cardiologist, Jansen has been cleared to pitch and will be activated today.
According to Jansen, everything went well at his doctor’s appointment.
This is great news for the Dodgers, as the bullpen has struggled in his absence. Multiple players got the ball in the ninth inning, but none were truly able to establish themselves in the role or gain confidence from Dave Roberts.
Since Jansen last pitched, the bullpen has an ERA of 5.
